The Brienz Rothorn Railway, now in its 126th year is one of the oldest steam cog railways in Switzerland, running daily this summer. Step back in time as you hear the chugging of the engine, and see and smell the rising steam. The train makes its way through leafy forests, alongside steep cliffs and across green alpine meadows during the 7.6km journey.
Get snap happy at the top of Rothorn Kulm with the 360° panoramic views. See panoramic map for further details.
If you would like to spend longer there, soaking up these beautiful surroundings, dine on the sunny terrace of the restaurant at the top. The railway is situated in the centre of Switzerland, one hour from Lucerne and 20 minutes from Interlaken by train/car.
The Steam Sausage Express departs Brienz at 10am every Wednesday morning until 21 October. Stopping at Planalp, passengers will receive a chunk of unique ‘Rackrail’ bread, a locally produced sausage and a soft drink. The sausage is cooked in the locomotives’ steam kettle and served to guests by their driver and fireman.
Departures: 02 June – 21 October 2018
